Catherine, 30, who wore opaque tights and brown suede ankle boots to complete the look, was greeted on her arrival in Oxford by dozens of children waving flags and holding flowers for her visit to Rose Hill Primary School. The visit was in association with the charity Art Room, devoted to working with children to increase self-confidence and self-esteem.

During the visit, the duchess finally let slip the name of her new cocker spaniel puppy -- Lupo. The name is Italian for wolf, but an aide confirmed the name has no significance other than the couple liked it, reports the Daily Mail.

It was announced today that Kate and hubby Prince William, 29, will visit Norway, Sweden and Denmark from March 20-27. UPDATE: Prince Charles and Camilla are making this trip to mark the beginning of their official overseas celebrations of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee; not Will and Kate.
